    Milk isn’t good for cats. It’s hard on their digestive systems.

    This is still awful. If water killed my kitties, I’d be very upset.

        No, it’s fine to take its skull away first. It’s not like it’s a bear.

    If only there was some kind of method for safely removing infectious diseases from milk.

          You can get milk made for cats that they usually like just as much

            It doesn’t matter, my cats are way more interested in the sour cream spoon laying in the sink instead

              Lol my cat’s the same. If I have a glass of milk, she’ll find a way to lick the rim of the glass if I don’t stop her

              Sour cream is low in lactose (relative to milk), so I think this is not a big deal.

              Because humans can make educated decisions for themselves.

              Housecats lack that ability.

              ** arguably many humans seem to as well.

                They have better judgment than dogs. Many dogs die from biting poisonous cane toads, but cats almost never do, because they leave the toads alone.

          They love it because it very similar to their mother’s milk, but it lacks the nutrition they actually need.

    Health officials said in a statement that people who had direct contact with the cats are now being monitored for symptoms and have been offered Tamiflu or other antiviral medications.

    As if the people feeding their cats raw milk would take antivirals rather than megadosing vitamine C.

      Vitamins? Even that’s not homeopathic enough. They’ll probably find this trash AI article and trust it to be true https://www.lybrate.com/topic/homeopathic-and-natural-remedies-for-lactose-intolerance/007d52bee0db5ad3dd7b085b5acca3b0
